The reaction 2NO₂(g) → 2NO(g) + O₂(g) is suspected to be second order in NO₂. Which of the following kinetic plots would be the most useful to confirm whether or not the reaction is second order?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For a second-order reaction, a plot of the inverse of the concentration of the reactant ([NO2]^-1) versus time (t) should yield a straight line.
